A shimmering expanse of water. That’s Galpin Lake. It calls to us on a sunny day like this, inviting us to pause and appreciate its quiet beauty. Nestled between Excelsior and Shorewood, Galpin Lake might seem like just another picturesque spot in Hennepin County, Minnesota. But behind its tranquil facade lies a story. The lake was named after Charles Galpin, a pastor who served this community. While the specifics of his life and ministry remain a mystery to us today, his name lives on through this lake. Each ripple on the water, each bird that skims its surface, whispers a silent tribute to the legacy of Charles Galpin.
